My hubby and I have been trying to have a baby and lately I have had the symptoms of pregnancy but the test have said negative. I have been cramps for about 3 days but they don't last long. They come and go during they day. My period is due but no bleeding yet.I don't normally get cramps for more than a day before my period.

I have read all the postings, and what each person described pertaining to the cramping is how I feel, but I’m a little confused my husband and I have been trying to conceive, I stopped the pill Aug 24th.. As of last week Sept 11th, I noticed some cramping in my lower stomach, its mostly on my right lower side. I do have lower back pain, but not as bad as my stomach pain. I was really hoping for a positive, because I really thought my body felt different, but I stopped and got a home pregnancy test, and it was negative. I guess it was all just in my head. I thought that the cramps I was having (still am) was because I was going to start my cycle, but I’m not suppose to start for another 2 weeks. Could the pregnancy test have been wrong? I still have the cramping, no bleeding, and lower back pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! : )

Your tests were too early. Wait until at least the day that af is due to test. Good luck, hope you get your positive!

I am so relieved to read these posts. I went off the pill about 11 months ago and have since had periods from hell. Very irregular and very painful. I have been having cramps for ages so didnt really pay to much attention when my b___bs got sore, just thought general pms. Well I was wrong. Am almost 7 weeks and am still having cramps, and even had some spotting very early. My ultrasound looks good and baby's heart is beating just fine and is in the right spot and all is well so try not to worry to much, it will happen when the time is right, just take it one day at a time : )

i'm 4 days late with AF and i have mild-mod cramping. My cycle is very regular but this time it was weird. About 12 days ago I had a slight pink spotting (only when i wiped) then 2 days after that (day 21 of 26 day cycle) I thought AF came early. I had bright red which filled about 1 pad approx later that day it turned to brown and very light which then went away. only some very slight spotting noticed only when wiping for the next 2 days. My AF lasts 5-7 days usually. I also had bad cramps while that episode was happening but then disappeared after about an hour. Now since my AF was supposed to come on the 30th all i've been having are cramps and back pain. Back pain i don't have during AF but this time i do. My DH and i have been trying for 18 months. So i'm hoping for bfp but i've been disappointed before so i'm procrastinating about testing. I'm curious to know everyone's opinions on this and if you've went through the same?

I'm about five weeks into my pregnancy and I get light period-like cramps on a regular basis. I've read through everything and understand that some cramps are normal but I'm still freaking out. How long are these cramps supposed to last?

I just found out I am pregnant 3 days ago and I feel like every since then I have been cramping, their definitely not like normal period cramps but their definitely scary because this is my first pregnancy so I am not really sure what to expect. And plus my period is due friday so I am not sure what I am feeling whether if its my period or what, I highly doubt it though because I all 4 positive results by 3 different tests one that even said Pregnant and I feel more pregnant than ever, sore b___bs, tiredness, bloated feeling, peeing alot. I just need some reasurrance that this crampy feeling is normal, the good thing is it comes off an on and its not too too severe.

Kimmy- try not to worry. I just found out last night that I'm pg with our 2nd and from the minute I found out, I started cramping. They come and go and are worse first thing in the morning and at night. Some feel like period cramps and others almost feel like electricity...kind of sudden. It's completely normal. Try to relax and enjoy being pg :)

I totally agree last night when I got up to pee I swear I felt like two light bolts jolt down from my ovaries through my crouch from both sides..it felt like i was dying. Today the cramping has been off and on again in fact im cramping right now. Some of them really make me nervous because I run to the bathroom thinking that Ive started bleeding but then theres nothing there...so I just feel that I am fully aware of everything thats going on with my body hopefully the feeling subsides eventually. Thanks so much for the advice hannahsmoimmy! Congrats to you!!!
